Description

Wanted to hard-wire some bento-boxes with minimal effort so I bought some kits from voxelpla but my OCD couldn't stand the messy wire look or the power block flopping around in the back of the machine so I came up with a quick mount that would make this install look like it came from the factory.

BOM:

(4X) M3 x 5 x 4 Heatset Inserts
(2X) M3 x 14 SHCS
(2X) M3 x 6 BHCH

TOOLS NEEDED:

1/8 drill (Ø.125) or up to 3/16*
Letter J Drill (Ø.277) or between 17/64 and 9/32

See instructions for more detail. Will make a complete PDF with images in the near future if there is enough interest.

Printed it but honestly scared to use. Can we get a template for the location of the holes? I am afraid of drilling through vital components. Like how many mm from the screw near the power plug up would help a lot.

@FatTony

Definitely don't drill while the panel is still connected, you will likely damage something. Remove the rear panel (it needs to be removed anyways to run the bento wires). The holes should be centered [or slightly off center to the right] above the power outlet cutout. I can work on a template if your still worried. If you remove the panel, the worst thing you can screw up is the panel itself and they are in stock on BL website for 15.99.

Made it today and installed. My only comment is that for the power coupler that I had, I needed to put a small shim behind the coupler to make it fit snugly and not push back when plugging the external power cord in. I imagine there is some variability among the power blocks that come with the Bento Boxes. Thanks for making this.

Hi, thanks for this. I was looking around for something to manage this issue. By the way, do you store your spare build plates on the bottom of the printer? It looks like one is there in the photo. I hadn't thought of it, but it seems like a great place to put one or two extras. If you storing it there, have you discovered any issues with it? I assume the temperature in the chamber won't hurt it (since it is heated in use much more), and I guess some filament falls on it from time to time, but easy to shake off. Thanks
